Packaging Designer for a Premium Supplement Powder DTC

🔥 PROJECT SNAPSHOT We’re a Vanilla Latte flavored nootropic + creatine powder that powers clarity, focus, and creative flow for high-performers. Our stand-up pouch already has a clean, minimalist look—now we want to push it to the next level. 🎯 WHAT YOU’LL TACKLE • Improve the current design: polish and elevate the minimalist pouch artwork we’ll share (attached). • Explore fresh angles: present TWO additional visual concepts that reinterpret our “future-focused performance” vibe—premium minimalism with subtle tech cues. • Concept → Print-ready: iterate to final and supply production-ready dielines (AI/PDF) plus layered source files. • Regulatory accuracy: apply FDA supplement-panel rules, ingredient list, and mandatory claims/disclaimers (copy provided). • 3D hero mock-ups: deliver photorealistic renders (front / angled / lifestyle) for website & Meta ads. • Finish & material guidance: recommend matte/gloss, Pantone/CMYK colors, zipper placement, and tactile finishes that elevate perceived value. 🛠️ YOU’RE A FIT IF YOU HAVE • 5+ CPG packaging projects (ideally supplements, functional foods, or specialty coffee). • Mastery of Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop. • Flawless print-production skills (spot colors, bleed, crop marks, proofing). • A strategic eye for typography, hierarchy, and “shelf-pop” minimalism. • Bonus 1: Mastery of a 3D tool (Keyshot, Blender, Cinema 4D, etc.). • Bonus 2: knowledge of U.S. supplement labeling regs, sustainable packaging options, or mock-up animation for ads. 🚀 TRAITS WE VALUE • Ownership mindset & fast iteration—ship high-quality work without hand-holding. • High personal standards; you sweat pixels and compliance details. • Curiosity & performance focus—you understand what motivates ambitious creators and entrepreneurs. 📦 DELIVERABLES 1. Refined version of current minimalist pouch (front/back). 2. Two distinct new concept routes. 3. Up to 3 revision rounds on the chosen route. 4. Print-ready dieline (AI & press PDF) + fonts & color specs. 5. 4–6 hi-res 3D renders (front, angled, flat-lay lifestyle). 📆 TIMELINE Goal: approve final art within 1 week. 📑 HOW TO APPLY 1. Start your cover letter with **“HIGH-PERFORMANCE POUCH”** to prove you read the brief. 2. Link 5–10 of your BEST supplement/food pouch projects (no generic portfolios). 3. Share a one-liner on how you’d visually express “clarity + energy without crash.” Short-listed designers will receive brand assets, copy, and exact dieline dimensions for a quick (paid) test sketch before final selection. We’re on a mission to unlock limitless mental potential. If you design like a high-performer and love turning smart science into shelf-stopping visuals, let’s create something legendary.
